內容簡介
In one volume for the first time, this revised and updated examination of how J.R.R.Tolkien came to write his original masterpiece 'The Hobbit' includes his complete unpublished draft version of the story, together with notes and illustrations by Tolkien himself. For the first time in one volume, The History of the Hobbit presents the complete unpublished text of the original manuscript of J.R.R.Tolkien's The Hobbit, accompanied by John Rateliff's lively and informative account of how the book came to be written and published. As well as recording the numerous changes made to the story both before and after publication, it examines -- chapter-by-chapter -- why those changes were made and how they reflect Tolkien's ever-growing concept of Middle-earth. The Hobbit was first published on 21 September 1937. Like its successor, The Lord of the Rings, it is a story that "grew in the telling", and many characters and story threads in the published text are completely different from what Tolkien first wrote to read aloud to his young sons as part of their "fireside reads". As well as reproducing the original version of one of literature's most famous stories, both on its own merits and as the foundation for The Lord of the Rings, this new book includes many little-known illustrations and previously unpublished maps for The Hobbit by Tolkien himself. Also featured are extensive annotations and commentaries on the date of composition, how Tolkien's professional and early mythological writings influenced the story, the imaginary geography he created, and how Tolkien came to revise the book years after publication to accommodate events in The Lord of the Rings. Like Christopher Tolkien's The History of The Lord of the Rings before it, this is a thoughtful yet exhaustive examination of one of the most treasured stories in English literature. Long overdue for a classic book now celebrating 75 years in print, this companion edition offers fascinating new insights for those who have grown up with this enchanting tale, and will delight those who are about to enter Bilbo's round door for the first time.

讀瞭這本書之後,我發現作者在做班主任工作的時候也有很多的無奈,她曾經這樣說過:“‘隻有不會教的老師,沒有教不好的學生’——在我看來,這句話和‘人有多大膽,地有多大産’是一路的。如果是教師之外的人這樣說的,那他就是在惡意地欺負人,把教師往絕路上逼;如果教師自己這樣說,那他不是幼稚就是自大狂,遲早要碰個頭破血流。我曾經屬於後一類。那時,我處於極度危險的境地。”看薛老師這些話,你能覺得這是一個真實的老師,她說的話就象是鄰居嘮傢常那樣真誠自然。對於書中她大膽、直率的言辭,我很欽佩,不是每個人都有這種膽識、思維的。她能把一件看似簡單慣常的事情剖析提頭頭是道,透過瞭錶象看到瞭它的內在根源。她有勇氣把一些不同與大傢都說的話寫在紙上,讓彆人看,雖然多數人心理或許也如她所想。但憑這一點兒,就讓人佩服至極。比如,她對“老師象蠟燭、春蠶”,“沒有教不好的學生,隻有教不好的老師”這些話的評析,一針見血,道齣瞭我們老師的共同心聲。之所以造就瞭她感說真話,敢於抵製一切不利於學生成長和進步的製度。因為薛老師的人生信念就是:缺乏真誠、理性和趣味的日子是不值得過的。教育教學中有瞭平衡愉悅的心態,正確的定位和良好的策略,纔能在飽滿熱情中,在正確策略中扶植學生嚮上。 薛老師在自序中寫道,“我是特意捕捉瞭清風、樂聲和野芳,錄在這裏,專門用於鼓勵自己,就算是不定期地給自己獻一小朵小花吧——真誠美麗的文字,正是心靈開齣的花朵。”又一次闡述瞭她的人生信念——-真誠。讀瞭全書,給我最深刻的感受也是她的真誠,我看到瞭一個真實的人,一個真誠的老師。當學生的時候,老師是權威,跟老師的交往總是處於嚮上看的狀態,學生是一定要小心翼翼的,多數情況還是聽老師說的多,自己發錶意見少。現在當瞭傢長,為瞭孩子跟老師也沒少打交道,但是一直覺得自己好多真實的想法不敢說,老師呢,說齣來的也有一些讓人覺得是官話套話。看瞭這本書,我想我們也許都錯瞭,老師跟學生、老師跟傢長,平等地真誠的交流其實並不難。工作是艱辛——往往也是孤獨的。可是,於飛塵的間隙也有清風,於喧嚷的中間也有樂聲,於荊棘的叢中也有野芳。我是特意捕捉瞭清風、樂聲和野芳,錄在這裏,專門用於鼓勵自己,就算是不定期地給自己獻一朵小花吧——真誠美麗的文字,正是心靈開齣的花朵。也有沉重和迷惘。但我的文字,往往略掉瞭疲憊、沮喪和睏苦——無涉乎誠實、全麵與否,這是我的選擇——有意的,我將目光投在瞭值得的地方,心得體會

托爾金著作的流行對語言的使用,尤其是在奇幻文學類,已經産生微小但深遠的影響,甚至是dwarves“矮人(復數)”和elvish“精靈的;精靈語”這兩個原本自19世紀中或甚至更早一點就已經不再被使用的拼法,也在托爾金的復興下廣為現今的字典所接受,分彆取代19世紀後dwarfs及elfish的拼法。其他如他所創造的新詞eucatastrophe(救贖的時刻,或直譯:“善戰勝惡”)也在與托爾金著作相關的文章中經常被使用。
